Love those fun, trendy costume jewelry pieces?

Have a few hundred (or more!) each to spend on them? Yeah, me neither. I don't mind spending a little cash on truly nice jewelry, but I'm always hesitant to drop huge sums on pieces that are more trendy than classic. Or sometimes I'm simply unsure a piece is something I'll like six months from now.

Not a problem. What, you doubted that I have a few go-to sources for way-cheap cheap chic? You must know me better than that by now.

One of my more recent finds is a little out-of-the-way website, shopthelook.net. They specialize in costume jewelry and just a few accessories such as scarves and headbands, but they have a fun and edgy selection, and the prices are super-low.

See the ring to the right there? Notice the resemblance to a famous designer style? (*cough* Cartier *cough*) That'll set you back $10, and that's representative of their prices for everything (most are in the $10-$14 range).

They also have a sale section, and you can sign up for their email list to be notified of specials. Oh, and free shipping with a purchase of $50 or more. If you're making a smaller purchase (say, that $10 ring, for example), you'll find their shipping rates low as well.
